Dear family and friends,
This week was a little rough... My comp got really sick this last week and we were homebound until Friday :(
Even though that was tough it brightened up with the baptism of Victoria!!! Woooooo wooooo She is a great! She is super prepared and was very ready to be baptized! during her confirmation she started to cry because she felt the spirit so strong. I am super grateful for her example of faith!
We went paintballing this week for pday with the zone which was pretty sweet! I got shot in the head... We gave the Elder a few extra points because of that shot.
Well I quickly want to talk about a talk given by Elder Bednar, he talks about the difference between a testimony and a conversion. A testimony is a great gift from our father, this divine revelation is a blessing to every one of his children. Now a conversion is a result of our ACTIONS because of our testimony. Ok for example, I know that Tomas s. Monson is a prophet of God. With this knowledge or testimony, I should now follow all of his teachings and ACT on the testimony which God has given me.
I am so greatful for the testimony that I have and I want to show to my father in heaven that I am by sharing it with the world! It pains me to know that at times I have not been so thankful for my blessings and I wish to change that by my ACTIONS!
Have faith and ACT! Sometimes we just need to do it!
LOVE
Elder Owens
